Description

The invention relates to a partition wall for showers, with a connecting part for connecting at least one partition wall part to a fixed building wall or with a further partition wall part, optionally designed as a pivoting door.

From EP 0 387 731 A1 a partition wall of the type mentioned at the outset is already known, in which the connecting part is a profiled strip which can be fastened to a building wall, for example by means of dowel screws. In cross section, this profile strip is approximately U-shaped, a receiving groove being provided between the U legs, into which the partition with an edge area can be inserted. When installing this previously known partition wall, the profile strip is first screwed to the building wall in order to then fix the partition part to the profile strip by means of an adhesive connection. It is disadvantageous, however, that when the partition part is glued, for example by means of an adhesive previously introduced into the receiving groove of the profile strip, the partition must first be fixed in some other way relative to the profile strip until the adhesive has hardened. For this purpose, wheel chocks can be provided, for example, with which the partition part is supported during assembly on the shower tray becomes. The assembly of the known partition is therefore associated with a certain amount of effort, and there is a risk in particular in the case of partitions made of glass that the partition slips during assembly and is damaged in the process. It is also unfavorable that the profiled strip requires a comparatively large expenditure of material and also has a certain size, which is perceived as particularly annoying in the case of shower partition walls made of glass or transparent plastic.

It is therefore the task of creating a partition of the type mentioned at the outset, which enables simple and safe installation and in which the connecting part has a material-saving, compact and visually recessed design.

The solution to this problem is that a plurality of connecting parts attack the partition wall part, that each connecting part has a fastening part for attachment to a building wall or the like and a clamp arranged on the fastening part with at least two clamping legs, which in the starting position has a smaller clear distance, at least in some areas have, as the width of the partition part to be clamped, and that the clamping legs are resiliently deformable away from each other against the restoring force of their material.

During assembly, the partition part can be fixed in its desired position in a simple manner by clamping between the clamping legs of the clamps provided on the connecting parts after the connecting parts have been fixed, for example by means of a dowel screw connection on a building wall. The partition part is already held by the connecting part immediately after insertion into the clamp, so that accidental falling of the partition part is practically avoided during assembly. This is particularly advantageous in the case of partitions made of glass, since in this way a break in the glass pane when it falls down and associated therewith Damage to the shower tray or bathroom furnishings can be avoided. It is also advantageous that the clamps provided on the connecting parts enable the partition to be securely fastened without perforations for the passage of fastening elements, for example screws, having to be provided in the partition. Particularly in the case of dividing walls made of toughened safety glass, the manufacturing costs can be considerably reduced by saving perforations. In addition, the connecting parts can be placed according to the respective structural conditions at the installation site at a convenient location on the partition wall part without, for example, perforations or the like fastening points on the partition wall part having to be taken into account. Compared to a continuous holding profile, the individual connecting parts distributed around the outer circumference of the partition wall have a significantly more compact structure, which on the one hand saves material and on the other hand the mounting parts appear less visible and are less visible, in particular in the case of transparent shower or bathtub partition parts. If necessary, the partition part clamped in the clamps of the connecting parts can be fixed by an additional non-positive and / or positive connection or by gluing, for example on a building wall or a further partition part.

It is expediently provided that the fastening part has perforations for the passage of fastening elements, in particular screws. The fastening parts can then be fastened to a building wall in a simple manner, for example by means of a dowel screw connection. It is advantageous if the fastening part has elongated perforations, the greatest extent of which is oriented in particular in the direction of the greatest length of the fastening part. In a wall clad with tiles, the holes for the dowels of the retaining screws can then be arranged on a joint located between the tiles, so that, on the one hand, when the hole is made, the Drill can not easily slip sideways and on the other hand damage to the tiles by the holes themselves or by crack formation is largely avoided.

An embodiment which is particularly frequently required in practice provides that the fastening part is designed as an essentially flat flange, on the surface of which, facing away from the fastening side, the clamping limbs are arranged in particular approximately at right angles to the fastening plane. With such a fastening part, a partition can be anchored to a building wall at right angles to the wall surface.

It is particularly favorable if the clamp is arranged approximately on the middle of the flange-like fastening part. The fastening part then preferably has a mirror-symmetrical construction with respect to the receiving plane of the clamp, so that the fastening part can be fastened equally on both flat sides of a partition part inserted into the clamp, for example on a building wall.

It is advantageous if the width of the fastening or holding part transverse to the longitudinal extent is less than or equal to the width of the clamping leg transverse to this longitudinal extent and if the width of the fastening part and the clamping leg is smaller than their respective length. This results in a particularly material-saving and inconspicuous fastening part, which nevertheless enables a stable anchoring of the partition part, for example on a building wall. The width of the fastening part and / or the clamping leg can then be adapted approximately to the diameter of the fastening elements, which can be screws, for example.

A further development of the invention provides that the clamping legs are placed on the fastening part and the fastening part serves as a stop for a partition wall inserted between the clamping legs, so that space for adhesive, silicone or the like remains free on its narrow side. A partition wall, for example fastened to a building wall, then has a defined distance from the wall surface on its narrow side facing the building wall, so that a sufficiently wide gap remains free between the partition wall and the building wall for the introduction of a sealant or adhesive.

If necessary, it can be provided that the clamping legs have passage openings for fastening elements, in particular elongated perforations, which are arranged transversely to their plane of extension. The dividing wall, which can be a plastic dividing wall, for example, can thereby also be fixed to the clamping legs at certain, particularly critical points, for example by means of screws.

A particularly simple and inexpensive to produce embodiment provides that the fastening part is a wire bracket and the clamping legs are leaf springs. It is advantageous if the fastening part and / or the clamping legs are bent from round material and the area delimited by the round material serves as a passage opening, in particular for fastening elements. The fastening element can then be produced particularly cost-effectively from standard continuous wire commercially available on a roll, for example from stainless steel wire.

It is particularly advantageous if the fastening part is also designed as a clamp, which preferably has clamping legs which can be moved apart from one another in a resilient manner against the restoring force of their material. The fastening part can then be used, for example in a shower cubicle, to connect a plurality of partitions to one another.

A particularly expedient embodiment provides that the Clamp legs are each arranged in a plane oriented essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fastening part and are inclined laterally to the fastening part in this plane with respect to the perpendicular to the fastening plane spanned by the fastening part. The fastening part can then be arranged in a corner region of the partition wall part in such a way that the clamping limbs of the clamp cross over the two outer edges of the partition wall part forming the corner region, so that it is held even better.

An advantageous embodiment provides that a bracket which has a passage opening for a fastening element is slidably attached to clamping legs bent from wire, in particular from round material or the like wire-like material. In the dividing wall part, passage openings can then be provided at corresponding points for the engagement of a retaining screw inserted into the through opening of the bracket, the displaceable bracket when mounting the dividing wall making it easy to align the through openings of the bracket with respect to those of the dividing wall part. Appropriate through openings can then be made in a partition made of toughened safety glass, for example, during production, and nevertheless the partition can be fixed to these perforations in a simple manner by adjusting the brackets, even in the case of inclined or uneven building walls.

According to a further development of the invention, a hinge is provided between the fastening part and the clamp, with which a partition part of a pivoting door for showers can be pivotally connected or connected to a fixed partition part or a building wall. The fastening part can then also be used for a swing door, so that uniform, matching fittings or fastening parts can be provided anywhere on a shower cubicle.

A particularly stable and yet compact fastening of a pivoting door can be achieved by providing two brackets arranged in one plane, preferably running parallel to one another, and by the clamp being arranged between the brackets and being pivotable, preferably by means of a pivot axis held by the brackets , is connected to them.

Advantageously, projections are provided on the mutually facing inner surfaces of the clamping legs for latching with corresponding recesses in an inserted partition part or the like. The projections of the clamping legs then snap into the recess of the partition wall part during assembly of the partition wall, so that on the one hand the partition wall is held even better between the clamping legs and on the other hand the partition wall part is also fixed in a precisely defined position with respect to the terminals.

The connecting parts can be produced particularly easily and inexpensively as a series component if the fastening parts and / or the clamping legs essentially consist of stamped sheet metal.

It is also advantageous if a fastening is provided as a fastening part on a flange, a transition piece or the like or directly on the clamp, which fits a holding and connecting rod or the like holding part for a shower cubicle. With such a support rod, a plurality of partition elements can preferably be connected to one another at their upper edge area, as a result of which a shower cubicle can be additionally stabilized, in particular in the area of a pivoting door.

One embodiment provides that the clamp extends only over a portion of the length of the retaining edge of the partition wall assigned to it extends. The width of the clamp oriented in the longitudinal direction of the holding edge is therefore shorter than the length of the holding edge of the dividing wall, so that the holding edge is only partially covered by the clamp and therefore it hardly appears optically. The portion of the retaining edge that is not covered by the clamp is still easily accessible during assembly even after the partition is fixed in the position of use, so that the partition on these pillars is easily sealed and / or additionally fixed with a sealant and / or an adhesive can be.

It is advantageous if the portion of the length of the holding edge over which the clamp extends is shorter than half the length of the holding edge. The clamp is then designed to be particularly compact and is therefore even less noticeable.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

A partition designated overall by 1 has at least one partition part 2, on which a plurality of connecting parts 3 for connecting the partition part 2 to a building wall 4 or a partition wall part 2, optionally designed as a pivoting door, engage. The connecting parts 3 each have a fastening part 5 for attachment to a building wall 4 or the like and a clamp 6 arranged on the fastening part 5 with at least two clamping legs 7. The clamping legs 7 are resiliently away from each other against the restoring force of their material deformable and, in the starting position, at least in some areas have a smaller clear distance than the thickness of the partition part 2 to be clamped in. The partition 1 can be assembled in a simple manner by first fastening the connecting parts 3 to the building wall 4, for example with a dowel screw connection, and then the Partition part 2 is clamped between the clamping legs 7 of the clamp 6. It is particularly favorable that the partition wall part 2 is held immediately after the clamping between the clamping legs 7 and the connecting parts 3, so that the risk that the partition wall part 2, which can be a glass plate, for example, accidentally falls down during assembly and is damaged in the process and / or causes damage to the bathroom equipment is reduced accordingly.

So that the fastening part 5 can be mounted even better, particularly on tiles, an elongated hole 8 can be provided on the fastening part 5 for the passage of a retaining screw 9. The retaining screw 9 is then laterally displaceable in the pre-assembled position in the slot 8, so that the hole for the retaining screw 9 can be arranged at a joint between the tiles. The tiles then need not be damaged when installing the partition 1. In addition, the drill does not slip as easily on the side when drilling the hole.

In the exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the clamping slot for the partition part 2 arranged between the clamping legs 7 is oriented approximately at right angles to the fastening plane spanned by the fastening part 5. The clamping limbs 7 are connected to the fastening part 5 at an end region lying in the longitudinal direction of the fastening part 5, so that overall there is an approximately angled connecting part 3. With such a connecting part 3 can be provided in a simple manner, for example as a ceiling panel for a shower cubicle partition parts 2 perpendicular to the wall surface on a building wall 4 will.

In the connecting parts 3 shown in FIGS. 13 to 26, the clamp 6 is arranged approximately on the middle of the flange-like fastening part 5, so that overall a T-shaped connecting part 3 results. The fastening part 5 has on both sides of the clamp 6 a through opening 10 arranged at right angles to the receiving plane of the clamp 6 for fastening elements, for example screws. The fastening part 5 can thereby be screwed on both sides of the flat sides of a partition part 2 inserted into the terminal 6, for example on a building wall.

So that, despite a very compact and visually recessed construction of the connecting parts 3, bending moments acting on the partition wall part 2, as can occur, for example, when the user of a shower or a bathtub abuts the side of the partition wall part 2 or leans against it, through the connecting part 3 can be supported, on the one hand the width of the fastening part 5 running transversely to the longitudinal extent is less than or equal to the width of the clamping leg 7 running transversely to this longitudinal extent and on the other hand the width of the fastening part 5 and the clamping leg 7 is smaller than their respective length.

The clamps 6 are placed on the flat side of the flange-like fastening part 5 facing away from the fastening plane, so that this forms a stop for the narrow edge region of a partition wall part 2 held by the clamping legs (FIGS. 13 and 18). As a result, when the partition wall part 2 is fastened to a building wall 4, for example, a defined gap remains between the building wall 4 and the partition wall part 2, into which, for example, adhesive or a sealing compound can be introduced.

As an additional fastening option for the partition part 2, slot-like passage openings 10 are provided on the clamping legs 7 for a clamping screw 11 or the like fastening element (FIGS. 18 to 21). The clamping screw 11 engages in a hole in the partition 2, so that the clamping screw 11 on the one hand creates a positive connection between the partition part 2 and the connecting part 3 and on the other hand the clamping legs 7 are pressed even more firmly onto the flat sides of the partition part 2 ( Fig. 18). For individual adaptation to the respective installation situation and in particular to compensate for building tolerances, for example in the case of non-vertical building walls 4, the clamping screw 11 can be displaced in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the clamping legs 7 in the passage opening 10 when the partition wall 1 is installed.

A particularly inexpensive to produce connecting part 3 results if the fastening part 5 is a preferably closed wire bracket and the clamping legs 7 leaf springs (FIG. 17). The wire bracket preferably has a greater length than its width, so that an elongated hole 8 is formed between the long sides of the wire bracket for carrying holding elements, for example screws. Through openings 10 for fastening elements can also be provided on the clamping legs 7, wherein the through openings 10 can also be designed as elongated holes, the longitudinal axis of which is preferably oriented in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the clamping legs 7. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 13 to 16, both the fastening part 5 and the clamping leg 7 of the connecting part 3 are bent as a wire bracket made of round material. The connecting part 3 is thereby particularly inexpensive and material-saving, for example, can be produced from commercially available stainless steel wire and also has a particularly transparent and unobtrusive appearance, which is particularly advantageous in the case of partitions made of glass.

So that the connecting parts 3 can also be used to connect several partition wall parts 2 to one another, it is advantageous if the fastening part 5 is also designed as a clamp 6 with clamping legs 7 (FIGS. 1, 2, 5 and 6). The clamping legs 7 of the two clamps 6 can then either be aligned in a straight line for connecting two partition wall parts 2 (FIGS. 5 and 6) or for angled connection of partition wall parts 2 in their longitudinal direction (FIG. 1 and 2). .

For installation in corner areas of partition parts 2, it is advantageous if the clamping limbs 7 are each arranged in a plane oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fastening part 5 and are inclined laterally to the fastening part 5 in this plane relative to the perpendicular to the fastening plane spanned by the fastening part 5 . Corresponding exemplary embodiments are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in each case at the bottom left, the clamping limbs 7 being formed by closed wire brackets in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and leaf springs in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG.

So that the clamping screw 11 can be better connected to the clamping legs 7 in the case of the clamping legs 7 which are bent from round material and have a passage opening 10 delimited by the round material, a bracket 12 with a hole for the clamping screw 11 is provided on a clamping leg 7 provided, which is supported in each case on one of the two longitudinal arms 13 of the clamping leg 7 formed by the round material and connects the two longitudinal arms 13 in the transverse direction of the clamping leg 7 in a bridge-like manner (FIGS. 19 to 21). A corresponding bracket 12 is also provided on the other clamping leg 7 of the connecting part 3, which has a perforation into which a nut 14 matching the clamping screw 11 can be inserted with a partial area. In the functional position, the clamping screw 11 and the nut screwed to it grip 14 into a perforation 26 provided in the partition wall part 2, so that it is connected to the clamping legs 7 both positively and positively. In order to be able to set the distance between the partition wall part 2 and the building wall 4, the brackets 12 are arranged on the longitudinal arms 13 of the clamping legs 7 so as to be displaceable in their longitudinal direction. For this purpose, the clamping limbs 7 each have groove-like depressions 15 for the engagement of the longitudinal arms 13.

In another exemplary embodiment (FIGS. 22 to 26), projections 16 are provided on the mutually facing inner surfaces of the clamping legs 7, which in the functional position engage in matching recesses in the partition wall part 2 and prevent the partition wall part 2 from slipping transversely to the longitudinal direction of the clamping legs 7. The projections 16 are formed by latching brackets 17 protruding in regions in the receiving cross section located between the clamping arms 7, which are arranged on the clamping arms 7 so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction thereof, and end regions facing away from one another each encompass a longitudinal arm 13 of the clamping arm 7 made of round material.

The fastening part 5 and / or the clamping legs 7 can also consist of stamped sheet metal (FIGS. 11 and 12). The connecting part 3 is then particularly inexpensive to manufacture. Figures 9 and 10 show an embodiment in which the fastening part 5 is formed by a solid metal plate having an elongated hole 8. Such a metal plate enables a particularly stable wall fastening of the partition wall part 2. As already mentioned, the fastening part 5 and the clamping legs 7 can also consist of round material (FIGS. 7 and 8).

FIGS. 29 and 30 show a connecting part 3, which has a hinge 31, for fastening a pivoting door 18 to a fixed building wall 4 or a partition wall part 2 Fastening part 5 of this connecting part 3 has two brackets 19 arranged in one plane and running parallel to one another, which are bent from round material and are each fixedly connected at one of their longitudinally arranged ends on their flat side facing away from the fastening plane with a sleeve 20, into which one Lugs 19 in the transverse direction connecting cylindrical pivot axis 21 is inserted in each case with an end region. On the pivot axis 21, a bearing sleeve 22 is rotatably mounted centrally between the two sleeves 20 and has approximately four times the length of the sleeve 20. With the bearing sleeve 22, two clamping arms 7 are connected, of which the inside of one is oriented approximately tangentially to the outside of the bearing sleeve 12 and the other in the position of use is offset approximately parallel to it in the direction away from the bearing sleeve 22. In the starting position, the clamping legs 7, which are bendable against the restoring force of their material, are inclined to one another in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pivot axis 21 and are at their end facing away from the pivot axis 21 at a smaller, closer distance than the thickness of the partition wall part 2 of the pivot door 18 to be clamped. In the area of the pivot axis 21, the inside width of the clamping leg 7 corresponds to approximately the thickness of the partition wall part 2 of the swing door 18. The partition wall part 2 can thus be assembled with the edge region in the through the clamping leg in a simple manner during assembly of the swing door 18 after the clamping leg 7 has been bent open 7 laterally limited receiving slot are used and is then held by the clamping force of the spring-elastic clamping leg 7 on the connecting parts 3, for example, attached to a building wall 4.

The clamping legs 7 are made of round material and have on their outer edge an approximately U-shaped round wire bracket 23 which is fixed to the bearing sleeve 22 at its wire ends. Between the two U-legs of the round wire bracket 23, the clamping leg has a further, self-contained wire bracket 24 which has a hole for receiving a clamping screw additional fixing the partition 2 of the swing door 18 encloses. The wire bracket 24 is each connected to the bearing sleeve 22 and the round wire bracket 23 with a straight connecting round wire 25. For the engagement of the clamping screw, the partition part 2 has a perforation 26 which passes through the clamping screw in the functional position. The partition wall part 2 of the swing door 18 can thereby be additionally connected to the connecting part 3 in a form-fitting manner. So that the tabs 19 can be better fixed, for example, to a building wall 4, retaining clips 27 are provided which, in the use position, each overlap the two U-legs of the tabs 19 which are bent from U-shaped material. Figure 29 shows the swing door 18 attached to a building wall 4 in the closed position. The partition part 2 forms an angle of approximately 90 ° to the wall surface. The swing door 18 can be pivoted in the direction of arrow Pf1 from the closed position. Figures 27 and 31 show other embodiments of a connecting part 3, in which the tabs 19 are arranged on the opening-side flat side of the partition wall part 2 of the swing door 18. The tabs 19 in FIG. 31 are formed by sheet metal strips having elongated holes 8, which can be fastened to a building wall 4 by means of retaining screws and an intermediate washer 28.

The connecting part 3 can also be provided for connecting a fixed partition wall part 2 to a partition wall part 2 of a swing door 18. In the embodiment of such a connecting part 3 shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, the two partition wall parts 2 are arranged parallel to one another in the closed position of the pivoting door 18. As can be seen particularly well in FIG. 27, the bearing sleeve 22 has two pairs of clamping legs made of round material offset from one another in the longitudinal direction of the pivot axis 21 for clamping the pivotable partition wall part 2.
